More detail on this person: Paul Brophy March
3, 1944 March 27, 2009, My Report
"Already it is time to depart, for me to die, for
you to go on living. Which of us takes the better
course, is not known to anyone but God."
(Socrates)
Father, I have returned to report a most fabulous
trip. Nothing has brought me more joy than my stay
on Earth. The family I shared and the people I met
while there brought me my greatest happiness.
I met, married and shared my life with a most
wonderful girl, Sherry Stewart Brophy. She was my
greatest source of joy, strength and love while
there and I can only hope that we will be united
together once again forever.
We were blessed to have shared with you six great
and noble spirits as our children on Earth. They
were indeed valiant servants and loving children
that brought us much happiness. They were our
greatest creations and our most valued
possessions. When Kelli, Landon, Jason, Sean,
Chad and Erin return, you will see how they have
grown while away on their trip. I will be so glad
to see them, their eternal companions and their
special children. You know, grandchildren are one
of your greatest creations you blessed us with
during our stay. I am so grateful to you for your
gift to us of eternal families. (John 14:2)
While there I tried to serve You, my family, my
church, my country, and my fellowman the best I
could. I was blessed to be a member of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to have
had the Priesthood in my life while there. I have
a strong testimony of You, Your son Jesus Christ,
His sacrifice on our behalf, the Holy Ghost and I
will continue to serve in any way I can. I only
hope you are pleased with my return.
